The main garden, extending to around 0.5 acres is stunning and is a true haven for nature lovers.

There is also potential to incorporate part of the lower garden into the paddock if desired.

A driveway runs along the side and rear of the property, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leading to a large double garage with electric door. A hardstanding track continues beyond the driveway, offering practical and secure access to the equestrian facilities and paddock in all weathers.

Location - The property enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient position on the edge of Crewkerne, offering the best of both worlds—rural living with easy access to local amenities, schooling, and transport links.
